  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Cold as the Rockies. Monday Night Football tonight, 515. The
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: 49ers and the Washington Commanders. Niners are trying to remain undefeated.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Washington looking for its second win of the season. You
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: don't need to know when the first one was. It
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: was a couple weeks ago. We move on. I don't
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: remember that one. I don't either. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: is going to miss the rest of the season. Blood
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: clot in his calf, now blood clots in his lungs.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Dangerous stuff. Blood thinners on the horizon for him. Still
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out why he played a game with
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: those after they discovered it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: And flew back from London.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some malpractice going on there. Huskies got their
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: first win in Big Ten play, beating Purdue 38-26 in
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: West Lafayette on Friday. But the news today from Jed Fish,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: DeMond Williams will practice this week. Elijah Brown, by the way,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. In that win.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Kraken back home starting tomorrow after a five-game road trip.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: They went 3-1-1. Currently third place in the Pacific Division.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Great start for the Kraken. Detroit, 640 drop of the puck.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: 6 o'clock pregame right here on 93.3 KGFM. And it's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a Kraken ticket Tuesday. Tomorrow, tomorrow, the sun will come
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: out tomorrow. Chris Ballard fired as the GM in Indianapolis
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: with the Colts and the Rams. Okay, you want misery
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: loves company, Ash?
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, please.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Miles Garrett will not practice this week. Devontae Adams ruptured
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: his hamstring out six to ten weeks, maybe longer. Puna Ford,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle, played really well for him, the former Seahawk,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: out for the season. Defensive lineman Kobe Turner expected to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: be on a short-term injured reserve list. And their kicker,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Blake Ruppe, who.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: That was a disaster yesterday.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Who got a field goal. That's good for them. That's
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: really a big bonus for them. Then got hurt on
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the ensuing kickoff. So they're going to have to find
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: another kicker. Third one this season. Rams, by the way,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: did lose their fourth game of the year yesterday. We
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: love you, Arizona. We love you, Cardinals.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Mike Sandel, standing by.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It's time for our Monday visit with Mike Sando of
• 2:04

• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Mike Sando joins us courtesy of Hunt Services every Monday.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: He's got his pick six column up at The Athletic, TheAthletic.com.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Lots to get to along the way. Mike, first of all,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: how are you doing, my friend?
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Good, how are you? I'm good, good.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: We've got a fun Monday night game. We'll see if
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the Commanders can find some magic along the way, even
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: though their top running back is out. Deebo Samuel out
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: for the 49ers. Some thoughts on tonight's matchup as the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Niners try to remain unbeaten on the year.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you sure think they would. We've seen some surprises.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, Tampa Bay wasn't supposed to beat Dallas,
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: but now Dallas has lost more games and has a
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: bad record. So, It's why they play the games. The
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: 49ers are not going to win every game forever.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: I don't think. But, man, you would sure like their advantage,
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: you would think, in this game.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: You would think so. Let me get to a couple things.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: News of the day. Chris Ballard out in Indianapolis. You
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: have a lot of connections with executives and player personnel
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: guys around the league. Was this a surprise, especially that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it happened?
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Are they six games in with the buys and stuff?
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Six games in.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Six games in, yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Well, I think it was looking kind of ominous.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I think that was a tough. lost to Tennessee.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: So I felt sometimes, sometimes you have, you know, a
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: week ago where you're thinking he'd be out, probably not,
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: but you, some of these games that come up when you,
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: when you lose to a really bad team, something happens
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: and they're far enough along in this thing. They're receiving
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: some talk about whether he was, Ballard was going to
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: come back this year, you know? So I would say
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: that I'm not shocked after that, that loss. Cause you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: owners just, take only so much, you know, and it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: been a long time. He's been there 10 years. Their
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: owner is very hands on too, right? Well, she's headsets on,
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: you know, we know that, uh, she's, she's present. Um,
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: they have an interesting history there, you know, where basically,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: you know, Robert or say on the team many years
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: ago and was, I was an alcoholic and was just, uh,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: completely unpredictable and would fire people and fly off the handle.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: He's the one who moved the team.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: Then, Jimmer, I took over his son and he was
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: kind of lovable, probably had a good heart, but also
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: had some substance issues and could do some crazy things.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: And then the daughter seems to be have it together.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: You know, she seems pretty sharp, but is definitely unconventional
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: in her presence on the sideline and that sort of
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: a thing seems to be pretty well liked. And now
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: we're going to find out, you know, how she handles crises.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: And so far, it looks like she's going to do
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: the GM before the coach. And to me, it makes
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: sense to, if you're going to start this thing over,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, Ballard's been there so long. I think it's,
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: you know, it changes the subject a little bit there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Mike, what kind of trouble are the Chargers and specifically
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh in? And I know you kind of touched
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: in on this a little bit. Herbert's just looks like
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a different guy. It's just they're 0-6. It's just a,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, really, I mean, there's a lot of surprises.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: 1-5 Tampa, you mentioned them. But right at the top
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of the list has to be the Chargers and the regression,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: so to speak, of Justin Herbert.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Which has really started under Harbaugh. Harbaugh's been there three years,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: and it's been downward ever since in terms of where
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: he stood statistically. I think we had him 12th, 21st,
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: now 32nd this year statistically, and so that's concerning. I
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: think we all expected to be better with Mike McDaniel,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: who had a good offense for a while in Miami,
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: but I think now in retrospect, one of the things
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: in talking to a coach who had studied them basically
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: said that they came in with like the full Miami
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: version of the offense in week one. Justin Herbert doesn't
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: seem really up to it, that he seems to be,
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: you know, not operating quickly. And so I think something's
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: going to change there. They have a bye now. Do they,
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: you know, do they hand it over to somebody else?
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: His quarterback coach and past game coordinator has been there five,
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: six years, Shane Day, Adam Gase is there, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: he's called plays before. So to me, they got to
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: do something different.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: When you wrote that, I kind of was startled a
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: little bit. And there's different types of, I don't want
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to say smarts, but like Herbert not processing it or
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: what have you. It feels like it's a mental. We
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: know what he is physically. He's also a brilliant dude.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I think he was like pre-med or something at Oregon.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Like the guy's a smart dude. So is it just this,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: whatever this offense, this style, the verbiage just doesn't fit him?
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Well, I think there's a lot of smart people who,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: wouldn't be good quarterbacks, right? Including some pretty good quarterbacks
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: who weren't good quarterbacks. So, I mean, the thought process
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: there is that, you know, I don't think anyone's ever
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: really lauded him for being a, you know, being a
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: master of situations or processing or decision-making.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: And some guys really are. That's what they're great at.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: And that's how I mean, at one extreme, like a
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Drew Brees can be so good, even though he's not
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: even close to Justin Herbert. Or even Brock Purdy is
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: a good example. That was raised in my column. Brock
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Purdy does get through things quickly, and it lets him
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: play quick. He can't probably do some things that Justin
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Herbert can do, but are we starting to see some
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: limitations of Herbert that never really get talked about because
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: he's such a physical phenom? And I don't think that
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: it means he's not intelligent. I think you have to
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: be intelligent to play that position, and he's played.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: It well before.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: But Is it, you know, there's different levels of how
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: much is too much, you know, for different guys. And
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: I think that's one, at least, you know, one coach
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: that I talked to thought that that was something he
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: saw from playing them.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I've waited long enough. Mike Sandel with us. Let's
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: get to the local team here. And Sam, this was
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: a startling number that you had today in the pick
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: six column. And so Jadarian Price has been injured a lot.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: He was slowed in training camp, I'll say, with whatever.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: It was kind of an undisclosed thing going on. We
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: didn't see him in the preseason. Comes out. Obviously, we
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: know what happened in the fumble early on. But in
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: regards to Sam Darnold and his play, Mike had this
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: number today. This is amazing. Sam Darnold's only had Jadarian
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Price on the field for 13 pass attempts this season.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: 96 without him. And obviously there's times when he wouldn't
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: be out there in a personnel grouping, but the point
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: is he has barely seen Jadarian Price on the field
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: this season, and that might be one of the things
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: leading to Sam Darnold's issues.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I think that when you go from an upper level
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: or a good player to kind of sub-replacement level, at
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: any position you're going to feel it. In this offense,
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: they've got to have some kind of a running threat.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: I think that Darnold needs that too. They basically have
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: one receiving threat that is awesome that you really worry about.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: And I think they need a second guy carrying the ball. Now,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: especially when you have fumbles in the end zone and
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: that type of a thing to lose games. But let's
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: throw Drew Locke into this too. Because if you look
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: at when on early downs, take out third down because
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Price is in and out or he's not playing or whatever.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: But on early downs, if you look at Darnold and Locke,
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: they are 27 of 33 passing. on early downs with
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Price on the field. And then it falls way off
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: to where they're both under 60% without him. And the
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: yards per attempt falls way down. It's not nearly as
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: many plays for Locke, but it's still a very... It
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: jibes to me a little bit with some of what
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: I'm seeing uh you know in terms of of the
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: offense so i do not think him coming back just
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: solves everything i mean clearly sam donald's made some really
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: bad decisions i don't care who's on the field and
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: some of those decisions are made on third down by
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: the way yeah uh so you know he's got to
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: play better and protect the ball and they've got to
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: get get going but i do think that that's a
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: critical component that's missing that's going to come into big
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: focus this next game because kenneth walker the third's coming
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: back we may see uh charbonnet back uh you know
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: we're not gonna see price back i don't think but
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: that position to me has really fallen off in a
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: way that i do think makes a big difference.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I should mention, yeah, the 13 snaps or pass attempts,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: those are the early down splits for Darnold. As Mike mentioned,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it's the same kind of numbers and splits when we
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: look at with Drew Locke out there. It's night and day.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: The passer rating, 136 with him, 77.1 without him. One touchdown,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: no interceptions with, four and four without. You've got to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: have a running game, right, Mike, in the NFL? It's
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: as simple as you've got to have a running game
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and a running threat. As well, like you said, sub-level
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: replacement players just don't cut it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think there's other things going on, too,
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: with the line and with the coordinator and Arnold himself.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: But I do think that if I were them and
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: I could say, hey, one thing here, what could we
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: have back? I think it would be the starting running back.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: What's going on in L.A. with the Rams?
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Well, man, I just heard that you were reading off
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: the injuries that came out of the game yesterday.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: My gosh.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: That's insane.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: If I would have known all that, I would have
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: had a section on that because those are some really
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: important players for them, and it does make it seem
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: like they're really behind the eight ball.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: We all know that.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: They have terrible special teams, and that bit them yesterday
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: when they had a replacement kicker get injured, and they're
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: playing the whole game without a kicker. But I think
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: there's just some other stuff going on there too, you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: and it's a little bit of a mojo thing to
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: me with them, like the chemistry of their team, uh,
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: the way that they added all of these guys in
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: the off season, it just hasn't come together yet. And
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: I think the, the weight of expectations and they've got
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: a circle on their back and, you know, they play
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: a team like Arizona and Mike LaFleur was on the
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: staff and they had their number a little bit. Um,
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: I feel like Kyle Shanahan's had their number anyway. So
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: those haven't gone well for them. They've lost super close games. Uh,
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: You know, Buffalo was one of them. Denver was another.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, those are teams you can lose to. And
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: they just, nothing's really kind of gone right for them,
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: I would say, in addition to their own issues. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: now you've got, you know, Miles Garrett has barely even
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: played for them. He was supposed to be a big star.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: Devontae Adams ruptured hamstring. My gosh, Puka Nuku, you can't
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: count on him or they would have paid him. So
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: I do feel now with those injuries on top of it,
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: that it's even more tenuous now.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I just, it's a strange year in a sense, but
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it's also a typical year, right? In the NFL, when
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: things are going on that you don't expect, or they,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: you know, like this is the chain, I mean, Minnesota
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: five and oh, Tampa Bay one and five, the, you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: the Chargers oh and six, and Cleveland leading their division
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: along the way. Good for the Browns, huh? Good for
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns leading their division.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: It is. Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: And I don't think they're that good of a team,
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: but you know, like the Giants have had a good
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: record too, but, but it's kind of, You know, it's
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: got to be great for them and their fans, even
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: though I know it's hard to get excited about Deshaun Watson.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: But I think, you know, them being competitive.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Is probably good. It's definitely good for Cleveland.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: I think it's good for the league to just not
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: have teams that just can't win or can't even function.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: They look at least functional.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: For anybody watching Sunday Night Football last night, and most
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: of us that are NFL fans probably were, As I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: think we're watching that game, I'm thinking to myself, what's
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: going on in Dallas? First of all, what's going on
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: in the defensive coordinator world? They bring a guy in.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: They've got a young guy in Christian Parker who hasn't
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: seemed to work out. They've given up 159 points so
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: far in six games this season. It doesn't seem like
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: it's any better on the defense. But then, oh, by
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the way, then your offense isn't doing anything last night either, Mike.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: It was just a combination of things.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I've been impressed by, I think the Packers have righted
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: the ship. And I think Jonathan Gannon as a D
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: coordinator there did a great job. Really had their number
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: because it is a pretty good offensive Dallas. But the
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: Cowboys are, you know, they're just sort of like born
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: to disappoint to me. And they, they're their own worst enemy,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: you know, before the season talking Superbowl, this and that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, try to win your division, you know, and they've,
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: they've even struggled to do that. They may even struggle
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: to do that this year, given the state of the division,
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: which is terrible.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Terrible. Terrible.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: I look at that division.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: We were talking about it earlier. I mean, if you're Seattle,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: you're the Rams, you're thinking wildcard right now. I mean,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: maybe something can happen, but 49ers should go 6-0 tonight.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: That puts you, if you're Seattle and Rams, they both
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: lost to the 49ers, effectively three and a half games back.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: It feels like it's going to come down to the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: NFC West and the NFC North for the wildcard spots, Mike.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Am I reading that correctly?
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: I feel that too. And I think that... You know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: I think Seattle's going to get there, you know, winning
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: the division. Maybe that's going to be tough to do,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: but it's still early. I think Seattle's not a team
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: people are going to want to play.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Put it that way, you know, and so I think
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: they're going to hang around. I think they'll get some
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: improvement on offense. It's just been too many disasters, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: still they're disaster games on offense, and you lose by,
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: you know, one or two points. To me, that's going
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: to turn a little bit at some point. I think
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: there's a stretch of the schedule, too, coming out of
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: the bye that I see them– I can see them
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: being a– or coming out of the Kansas City game,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: I could see them being a 6-4 team kind of
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: at the bye and then hitting stride a little bit.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: That's sort of what I expect from them.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: They've got to get the Chicago game. That's because of
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: conference game and you start talking about tiebreakers and all that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, that Chicago Monday night game here, what, two
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: weeks from tonight is going to be massive. But did
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: you mention, is that right, Kenneth Walker's coming back to town?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Are we going to talk about that at all this week? Yeah, yeah,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I think that we are.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I think most people would be happy for him.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: You know, Super Bowl MVP and he helped get him there.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: I think we understood, you know, what they were thinking
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: in terms of, hey, we're paying these guys, but we're
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: not going to pay big money for a running back
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: and we'll draft one. And I think the one they
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: drafted is pretty good. He's fumbled the ball and he's
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: been hurt. So it's a worst case scenario in the
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: short term because Walker's just going crazy with a monster year.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: And you wonder, God, what if he was doing that
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: in Seattle? You know, this team probably undefeated.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Unreal.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: It'll be a hell of an atmosphere on Sunday night.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: The Pick 6 column is up there at The Athletic, theathletic.com.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Great stuff. Great recap. Deep dive into all the things
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that happened on the NFL weekend. So make sure you
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: check that out. Mike, in the meantime, we'll talk to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: you next week, and you'll be on with the morning
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: show later this week. We'll look forward to that as well.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: There you go. That is our good friend Mike Sando
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: joining us.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: It's Sunday night football. Are you kidding me? Ken Walker,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, Pat Mahomes.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I'm stressed out thinking about it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like... I'm jacked for it. I can't wait.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Oh, no, it's going to be great fun, but I
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: will be stressed out watching it at home yelling.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: It's not, I mean, three and four becomes a little daunting.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: No, we're going to win. But yeah, you win that one,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're four and three, and I'm
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: with Mike. You win that one, you beat Chicago, now
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're five and three.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Looking pretty good.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: We're going, yeah. And Green Bay, Chicago, Detroit, somewhere along
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the way, those teams will get a loss. So, yeah,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's... But it's six weeks into the season,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and it's really... I mean, the Packers and the Lions
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: play each other next week, so someone takes a loss there.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: That helps. Like, the Central or the North will take
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: care of itself in some ways. But boy, oh boy, Ash,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: this is... You just cannot afford to keep stringing together
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: losses in the NFL.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: No, I agree.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: But, you know, there is always the chance that the
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: 49ers could suck today.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, there is a substation. God, I feel
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: like there's a substation down with the Rams right now, huh?
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there is.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Holy smokes. They are just– I think Aaron Donald's going, eh.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Was this the best decision?
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, probably not. He was like, man, I was healthy,
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: and now nobody is.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I thought we were going to go 16-1 and just
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: cruise into the Super Bowl, and apparently that's not going
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: to happen for them.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: We want to hear from you. 49451, that is the
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Tacoma Dodge text line, 49451. We'll get your thoughts, your comments,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: your questions, your concerns, all the discussion we've had today,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of Seahawk conversation. Also, I'll get the talkbacks
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: going as well. Love to hear your voice. Factor Fiction
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: coming up as well. Oh, yeah. We're not good. Well,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: we only had two picks last week.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they weren't good ones.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I know, but we only had two. So here's the
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: good news. We only went 0-2, right?
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: Yay!
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Yay!
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: We'll change that. We'll flip the script coming up next.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Now back to Countdown to Monday Night Football with Ian Furness.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light. Cold as the Rockies.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: On Sports Radio 93.3, AJR FM.
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: Regarding Sam Darnold, if the Seahawks had K-9, they would
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: be 6-0. They've lost three games by a total of
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: eight points. And people would be totally okay with Sam
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: Darnold slinging the ball around and giving up a few interceptions.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: You know, real quick, that could very well be the case.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I just, I rarely live in the world of Iapathetic
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: because we don't know.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, we mentioned it earlier.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if you have a good run game, then you're
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: probably not so bothered by these interceptions.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Although our run game, we're fumbling the ball too.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, but are we really for sure, are we 100%
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: certain that if Ken Walker was playing, they'd be 6-0?
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Nope, not at all.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: But I understand the sentiment.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: Hey, uh jet this year purple and gold head coach
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: uh yeah my visor is still glued to my forehead
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: uh we're gonna have a press conference um today to
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: announce damon will practice uh then we'll have another press
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: conference to announce that elijah brown is the backup and
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: then we'll have another press conference that says uh we're
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: gonna keep throwing the ball 60 times I just want
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: to thank the support and the NIL money that I
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: spent myself personally on DeMond.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: You know, Greg Bell, and he's not the only one,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: you hear this a lot, donor fatigue.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Such a real thing.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: And it's been, I feel like, really highlighted this year
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: with some of this quarterback play.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Just the world we're living in right now, before we
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: get back to talkbacks, just so broken. I didn't even
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: realize this. I just saw this a minute ago. Because
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just thinking of Purdue and the Huskies played Purdue.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Purdue's a basketball school.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: They don't care.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: They lost football. They don't ever worry about basketball. So,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Trey Hoffman-Wren was one of their best players the last
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: couple of years. Played almost 150 games with them. Played
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: five years in college. Got drafted by Minnesota. Played in
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: summer league. Went to training camp. And then now he's
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: playing for the Kansas Jayhawks.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: Wait, what?
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: Just.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: The world we live in now with college athletes.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's ridiculous.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: But he's not even part of the lawsuit. They just somehow,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: he's automatically eligible. He played in the summer league.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Go figure. All right, continue.
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: I find myself questioning the practice of not really playing
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: your starters in the preseason. Limited reps, basically putting them
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: in bubble wrap. Would Darnold be a little bit more accurate?
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: Would his game be a little bit better if he
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: had more games with true competition, more threats in his
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: face than not? Looking at how Drew Locke performed coming
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: out the gate versus how Darnold has looked coming out
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: the gate. You know, even Price, would he be a
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: little bit more durable? Would the offensive line be playing
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: a little bit better if they had more reps out there?
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: You know, it's a shortened preseason and getting shorter.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. He only played one series all last
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: year and then went to the Super Bowl.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that part worked.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: It's just we're struggling right now.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Last one.
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: I'm sorry, but this is the first time I don't
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: agree with you. Yes, Darnold proved it last year. But
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: it's not what you did last year or how you're
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: playing now. He is not playing well at all.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: And you have somebody on the bench who is.
• 22:12
  Speaker 11: You need to put Locke in for a while and
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: send a message to Darnold that he needs to get better.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Period.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I couldn't disagree with that more.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: It's just not going to happen.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: I just don't think you need to send a message
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: to Darnold that he needs to get better. Darnold knows
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: he needs to get better. He's not a kid who's like, gosh,
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: I'm doing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Great, guys.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: He said that in the postcard. He doesn't need.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: To have a message sent to him.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: He gets it. Message sent and received.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to generalize a bunch of texts we're
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: getting at 49451. It's a classic. A lot of people
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: want to get rid of, you name the coach, either
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Jed Fish or Kirby Moore and saying, well, they should
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: just go hire Jamarcus Shepard from Oregon State. Well, it's
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: not going to happen. And the other part is one
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: of our schools had a chance to hire Jamarcus Shepard
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: and they chose Kirby Moore. Anyway, I move on. Oh,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: before we get to fact or fiction, 49451. Got four tickets,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: my four tickets for tomorrow's cracking game. They come home.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Detroit in town. The Trois, as they call them?
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: The Red Wings. Four tickets. You want to go 49451.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: First few, Ashley, just look at the first few.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Here's what I'm looking for. If you've never been to
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: a game or maybe your kids have never been to
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: a game, we understand these things are expensive. You want
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: to experience a hockey game tomorrow night. I would say
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: stay home and listen to the play-by-play call on TV
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: because it's going to be really good tomorrow. But I
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: would also say if you want to go to the game,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I got four tickets for you. Tell us why. 49451.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Ashley will be judge, jury, executioner.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: And I'll send those tickets to you by 3 o'clock today.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: 49451. Great seats tomorrow. You want to go? Tell us why.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: 49451.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Factor Fiction. We're set to go.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Glad you're with us.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: grand prize.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: It's Fact or Fiction.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: day feels lucky. Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: KJR FM.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Well, let's get a quick recap in. Do we know
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: who won this week?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Not yet.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: We have to wait a day, right?
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, correct.
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Someone won $ 1, 000 last week, and if the person that
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: wins $ 1, 000, if it comes from our show, it's because
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: you would have said fiction and you were qualified. Because
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I was wrong with the Rams and Buffalo, and Ashley
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: was wrong with the Giants plus one and a half
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: against New Orleans.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Good news is 56% of you disagreed with me. So
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: most of you guys probably got it right. Someone won $ 1, 000.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: We're going to win a $ 1, 000 weekly prize, $ 10, 000 grand prize.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Every week, someone wins $ 1, 000. How do you win it?
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: You text FACTORFICTION to 49451 when we give you a pick.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: For us, for the most part, FICTION's been a good call. Ashley,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: not as much. She's just one game under 500 by,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: and honestly, that's good. I'm ahead of both Fane and Kidd,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: so I'm good with that. I'm not last, right?
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're doing better than him.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Very low bar, though.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't want to say that.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Ashley, it turns around this week. And you know what
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to.
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: Do?
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I'm chasing.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I'm chasing. I am chasing all day long. I wanted
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: this game, and I can't believe that the morning show
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: and Anderson Hurst, I thought I taught him better. He
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: went down the road of the commanders plus seven and
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: a half. They ain't going to stay close in this game.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It is going to be over by halftime.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: You're going to feel dirty if you text FACT. You
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: will feel really dirty if you text FACT. But if
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: you want to have a chance at a $ 1, 000 weekly
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: prize or a $ 10, 000 grand prize, you'll text FACT. Because
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going with it. 49ers minus 7.5. They'll win by 8+.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: They'll win by double digits. I thought that number would
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: be higher. I thought no, no Krosky merit. That team
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: is rolling right now. They are humming. I think use
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: checks back tonight. They are humming.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: They are doing well, but you know, I just, uh,
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: I feel like you, what you're doing here is a bonus.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I'm rooting to be wrong.
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: And I am here for that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: But here's what I don't want you. I don't want to,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: they've got, if they win, just blow them out, please.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: Please.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: And I thought in all sincerity, they will. Washington's not good.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: And Dan Quinn is having all kinds of issues.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: And they can't run the football. Scary Terry McLaurin. He'll
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: have like his normal one catch. You'll get teased if
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you have him in fantasy.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: You'll be all angry.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And then you'll be pissed off the rest of the game.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: And Brock Purdy.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Thanks for coming. Chris McCaffrey. And we'll have to deal
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: with John Lund tomorrow after a 35-10 49er win on
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Monday Night Football. And if you text FACT to 49451,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you'll already have one in the bank. We're chasing. We're
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: going to get one. We have a green little stripe
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: there tomorrow on our little Excel sheet.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Ashley? Yeah, we are.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: And Anders is going to have a red streak up there.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm all over it. San Francisco minus seven and
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: a half. I thought about.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Makes me want to puke.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: You know what? I kind of thought about going with
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: you over. But it's 52. That's pretty high.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: And the 49ers.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Don't think they're going to allow that many, and I
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: think they're only going to score in the 30s. I
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: don't think Washington's– I just– I can't see that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: And the Commander's defense is at least fairly decent.
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: It's okay.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Their offense isn't good, but their defense is decent.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: No top running back. They're bringing back the rotting carcass
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: of what was formerly known as Austin Eckler.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Rotting carcass. I saw that.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Austin Eckler. Like, listen, was good years ago. Yeah. Then
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: he married the little influencer, and he's done.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, they do like to influence things.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: 4-9-4-5-1 fact.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: 4-9-4-5-1.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he dances all the time now.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: How do I know that? I don't know.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you follow him.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: No.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Or her.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I usually don't know. Because I watch the Netflix story.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: That's what I did too, yeah. That's how I know
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: about them.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: They are like, well, she's normal. Eckler's wife's fairly normal. Yeah,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of labs. The sister's in a cult.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: 2-3.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: That's a whole different issue. That might be weighing on
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: his mind because she's in L.A. in the cult. He's
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: going back there tonight.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: That's possible.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: More reason. It's San Francisco minus 7.5 fact.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: 49451.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Forgot about the cult until just now.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: That was a good little documentary thing.
• 28:52
  Speaker 12: Weirdos.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: 49451.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: 49ers, you'll feel dirty by doing this, but you'll text
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: fact to 49451. They're going to win by 8 or more.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Minus 7.5 is the spread. Thanks for coming. Anders, you're
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: going to have a red stripe. We're going to have
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: a green stripe. And Ashley, how good will that look tomorrow?
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: I don't know how to feel about any of this.
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: It makes me nauseous to be rooting for.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Us to win.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: You know they're going to win the game.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Although, yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: You know they're going to win the game.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: And you know it's not going to be an entertaining
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: game because there's nothing else on tonight.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, baseball.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Baseball at 5 o'clock. Like I said, there's nothing else
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: on tonight. I can get my game prep in for
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: tomorrow early because it'll be over at halftime. Thanks for coming. Niners,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: minus 7.5. They're playing in San Fran, by the way.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: The Niners in San Fran. We'll deal with Lund tomorrow
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: and all his nonsense.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Softie.
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: Next.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Jeremy Boggs is our winner of the tickets for the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: hockey game tomorrow and then, of course, all day tomorrow
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: we have him giving away tickets on the Kraken Ticket
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Tuesday for which game that is, Ash? Off the top
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: of your head.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I do, actually. October 28th against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: That'll be a week from Wednesday. Hello, Dave Softy Mahler.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: What if I wanted hockey tickets for tomorrow?
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I can make a call. Can I get them? I
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: can get them.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: You know anybody?
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I can probably.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: You know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: knows somebody?
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I will call Mike Ben.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Here you go. He knows somebody.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: That's the guy to call.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: For sure.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: That's the guy.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: He absolutely knows somebody.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: He always knows somebody. He always knows somebody. How was
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: West Lafayette, my friend? Uh.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: We didn't do much. I mean, we drove in and
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: drove out. I mean, that was pretty much it.
• 30:28
  Speaker 12: We spent Thursday night in Indianapolis at a bar watching
• 30:31
  Speaker 12: the Seahawks game with a bunch of Seahawks fans.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: That happened to be Husky fans.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: How'd that go?
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: The game was terrible, but the bar was cool. A
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: place called Kilroy's. It was awesome.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, good.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Ashley, you'll like this.
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: They had a shot list on the wall that was
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: written in chalk that was about 300 deep.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: Oh, wow.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I'll send you a picture, by the way. 300 different
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: kinds of shots.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of shots.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Now, you're not doing them all in one night because
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: you'd be dead.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: No, that would not be good.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Very dead.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Did you go through that list at all and maybe sample?
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: A couple of them, yeah.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: What was your favorite?
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Nothing crazy.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Anything good?
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm just kind of a basic, you know, I'm
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: a big Crown Apple guy, to be honest with you.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Because if you're watching that NFL game on Thursday in Denver,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I would have thought you would need more than a couple.
• 31:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, we didn't really get after it. We had
• 31:21
  Speaker 12: to work the next day. I was professional. Plus, my
• 31:25
  Speaker 12: wife's listening right now.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Hi, Gina.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Love you. Ashley, say hi to Gina.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Hi, Gina.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: Gary Guba, Gary Gray Mahler.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: What's up, Gina?
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I'm professional. Save that one.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: I'll be getting a text from her in three, two, one.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: There it is.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: Really?
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we had a great time.
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: We hung out with, it was me, Cam Elise, UW
• 31:50
  Speaker 12: sports information superstar Jeff Bechtold.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: And one of the greatest walk-on white wide receivers in
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: the history of Washington football, a guy named Jackson Gerrard.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: You may not know that name, but it's Dick Baird's grandson. Oh, okay.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Who now works for the Huskies in their audio-video department. Oh, okay.
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: Very good.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Not that you asked for all that, but I figured I'd.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Tell you anyway. No, I'm just curious. I wish I
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: could have had a couple shots watching that game on Thursday.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: That's all I know.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Where were you for the game, by the way?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you know where I was at. That room right
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: there at Heckhead.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're doing a hockey game. That's right.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: So I had one eye on the Kraken coming from
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: behind to get a point against Tampa and thinking, okay,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: this night's starting good. And then I had another eye
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: on the football game, and it didn't start well. But
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, oh, okay. Here was my dilemma.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Now tell me what you would have done. So I'm driving.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Game's over. We finish our postgame, jump in the car,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: haul an ass home, and it was late third quarter.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Fourth quarter starts. I'm on 405 heading south. It was
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: maybe a little bit later. And all of a sudden,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: the local NFL team decides they're going to come back.
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Now, I pull off of the 405 down to the 169er.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: There's a bar called The Classic there.
• 33:07
  Speaker 12: Right, yep, exactly where it is. I drive by it
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: all the time, getting off 405, heading over to the
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: golf club.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Because when I was driving by Dino's, which would be
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: my first choice, it wasn't going well for the Seahawks.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: You know, I've never been into the Classic.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, I haven't either. I haven't either. But all of
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: a sudden, it's a game. I'm like, I should jump
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: in there. I should jump in there. No, you know what,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I'll get home. As I'm driving by the Classic, interception
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: number one. And I'm like, I'm glad I didn't see that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Then, as I'm approaching Maple Valley, Jason Myers kicks a
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: game-tying field goal. And I thought, you know what, should
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I pop into the imbibe and have a beer there
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: and watch the end of the game? Nope, I'm just
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: going to get home. It's five more minutes. You know
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: what I should have done? I should have stayed in
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: the car. I should have just stayed in the car.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Because when I was in the car, things were good.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: When I wasn't in the car.
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: I take all the blame. We were sitting there at
• 33:59
  Speaker 12: the bar in Indy thinking, who do we blame for this?
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: It's me. Nobody mentioned your name.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: It's me.
• 34:03
  Speaker 12: I think I'll get that group together. I'll text them
• 34:05
  Speaker 12: and say, you know what the real problem was? It
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: was Ian Furness's dumbass decisions that he made that.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Cost us that game.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: When things don't go well, would you rather be alone
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: or would you rather be with a group of fellow.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: Pissed off people? Oh, I'd rather be alone.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: 100% rather be alone. All right.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: The only person.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: That can be around me during those types of moments
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: is my wife. That's it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Because she knows to keep her trap shut.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Whoa whoa whoa she is listening right she is listening.
• 34:29
  Speaker 12: Right test me wow you are just asking she's just
• 34:32
  Speaker 12: as annoyed as me that's the whole point.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: All right but yeah yeah so i i'm kind of
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: i'm kind of i don't know i kind of wanted
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: to be and then i thought my son was going
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: to be home and i then i got home he
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: wasn't so i'm.
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: Watching it by myself you're not a you're not a
• 34:44
  Speaker 12: breaking the law guy you don't start streaming the game
• 34:47
  Speaker 12: and Set up your phone next.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: To your speedometer? No. When you're driving home? I mean,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: like I said. You're not doing that?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: No, I'm in the car. I was listening to West
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Wind Run.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Wait if you're lying, by the way.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I was listening to the West Wind Run broadcast, and
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know who was doing it, but they were
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: really good. And I'm like, okay, well, this is good.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: This is good. And then I was convinced they'd win. Like,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: he kicks a field goal, they're going overtime, like, they're
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: going to win this damn thing.
• 35:13
  Speaker 12: When they're driving before Sam threw that last interception, I
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: would have bet a lot of money that they would
• 35:18
  Speaker 12: have won the game, and it would have been... It
• 35:20
  Speaker 12: would have been just like what I thought was going
• 35:22
  Speaker 12: to happen in the Commander game and what I thought
• 35:24
  Speaker 12: was going to happen in the Niner game before Jackson
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: Smith and Jigba dropped that pass. We're going to talk
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: about how poor the Seahawks played in a lot of areas,
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: but they still won.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: They're still sitting 4-2.
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: When they beat the Patriots with their backup quarterback and
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: the rest of the NFL was like, uh-oh, what's going
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: on here now? Just beat the reigning AFC champs with
• 35:44
  Speaker 12: Drew friggin' Locke. These guys are good. So, I mean, look,
• 35:48
  Speaker 12: they've lost three games by eight points combined. Is that
• 35:50
  Speaker 12: right on the season so far?
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: That sounds right, yeah.
• 35:52
  Speaker 12: You know, which is what they do. I think they
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: lost three games by eight points combined a year ago.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:58
  Speaker 12: But nothing's going to change until these turnovers stop, obviously.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: As what Hugh said earlier, it's the Dick Baird drop, right?
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: You've got to stop doing that. As simple as that.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Somebody did like my pick on Factor Fiction. They said,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I could not be more pleased to hear Ian pick
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: the Niners 24-17 Commanders incoming. Well, there you go.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Is that because you're terrible at your picks and you'll
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: be wrong tonight?
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I'm so terrible.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Is that the whole point?
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I'm so terrible.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Just take one for the team, man.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: You know what? And if the Commanders win, I want
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: full credit for that. What are you doing today?
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: By the way, is this Owen Eshelman guy going to
• 36:31
  Speaker 12: keep starting for you guys at quarterback?
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, until he transfers.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: You've got to get the PTA drop.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: I'm Owen. When he picks him up at the train station,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: people train leave from Stubville. I'm Owen.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: You got to get that, dude.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Come on. It's right there for you. It's perfect.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: And somebody just texted, Ian, you haven't been to Classics?
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Come on, man.
• 36:53
